Ran a 10k - Official Thread (2 Viewers)

How many people are racing today? I think we can expect our first result within an hour.

 

[gianmarco]

Lots of 3.x mile runs today.

Well, I'm getting out today after 2 weeks to try it out and see if I'm racing tomorrow or not.  At this point, low expectations of being healthy enough and super frustrated, but whatever. 

I'm mostly aggravated because I should be finishing my 4th week of marathon training.  As it is, I'm going to be lucky to get 12 weeks in.

 

[Juxtatarot]

I’ll track the team averages based on Strava data 

Shared Google spreadsheet?  Might make life easier if it's a collaborative effort.

No.

Excellent idea.

Be smart about it, gian.  The bright side is that if you can't pursue the marathon training, you can give maximum support and encouragement (be a hero!) to mrs. gian as she goes after a BQ.

Wasn't planning on it. Felt decent so I went. 

We can go again during this time period, right? Gotta knock 8 ####### seconds off.

Not sure how else I can be smarter about it.  I've run a total of 2 miles in the last 3 weeks.  Just watching sunny 50 degree days come and go knowing that I've got this race series here plus a marathon to train for. 

That said, I know others have it far worse so I'm still thankful that I'm not there (yet).

Really strong run and you didn't pick the easiest course either. Great start for our team.

Yeah, that's a hilly 5K.

Best pick of the draft. No question.

Thanks, it feels flat but there are some rollers. My concern was the one main intersection. Just hit it right. 

It's funny going from mostly longer distances, although I've done some speed work. Definitely feel like I can go longer, just not much faster. 

 

[pbm107]

TeamGrue 2 for 2.

 

[-OZ-]

grue!

 

[MAC_32]

Best pick of the draft. No question.

It's either him or @JAA.

 

[Dr_Zaius]

We have official times who do we have to request on Strava?

 

[ChiefD]

Who all has gone today?

 

[Zasada]

grue!

Strava is reporting only 4.99km, I'm throwing a DQ flag.

 

[Juxtatarot]

Strava is reporting only 4.99km, I'm throwing a DQ flag.

I know you're joking but, in all seriousness, 3.10 miles is fine with me instead of the 3.10686.

 

[bushdocda]

It’s like the Ryder Cup minus the usually ugly team outfits.

LOL, feel free to add 2 seconds to my time, Captain Metric

Working on this as we speak...

 

[JAA]

Took a meeting in Vaporflys.
Really went fast. 

Is that why my wife wants me to wear Vaporflys in bed???

 

[Zasada]

Did @MAC_32 get to add a few seconds to his 10K time and still claim victory?

Hey-O!!

This is what is so amazing to see. If I ran that pace my HR would be 195.

Im not going to hit that pace and my HR will be 195+

In all seriousness, wont we be avg'ing pace and not duration?  If we use duration the 1mi will be meaningless in the standings.

My time should be 20:07, thank you very much  

I set the target to 5k, actually ran the full 5k but then stopped after the target buzzed and I couldn't stop the damn watch! 

 

[SteelCurtain]

Ok ok.  I give.  Signed up for Strava.  Requested access to the “club.” Please don’t laugh. 

Initials NJ?

What was @-OZ- 5K prediction?  That's a fast time!

 

[gruecd]

Initials NJ?

yes

 

[ChiefD]

Gonna take my first crack at it here in a few minutes. Favorable conditions and I'm feeling pretty strong for the first time in weeks.

 

[gianmarco]

I set the target to 5k, actually ran the full 5k but then stopped after the target buzzed and I couldn't stop the damn watch! 

Along those lines, this is what I propose.  If your time is in your top 3 for a 5K and it gives you a 5K time, we should use that to keep it consistent for everyone.

 

[gianmarco]

Oh, and it looks like the Mrs. may try it with me tomorrow if she's not working.  And if not, she'll do it on Saturday or Sunday.  Of course that could change in the future.  Like minutes from now.  So who knows.

Go ahead and update it then (if you haven't already).

It's view only for us.  You have to switch that.

Why?  Do you want to do some updates for TeamGrue?  Can you spell "DNF?"

 

[tri-man 47]

I thought we'd talked about using the average pace rather than time so we don't get caught by the very slight inconsistencies.  But it might not matter (once #TeamJuxt gets rollin').

 

[ChiefD]

I was gonna post STUD next to @gruecd 's time.

Fixed to allow edits.  Also added an average pace for the team.

Dude is super-competitive, for sure.  I can't wait for @gruecd 's virtual race report, given his absolute disdain for the 5K distance ...particularly when doing it solo.

I'll write something up, but trying to time trial that distance really sucks balls.  If it weren't for this whole "social distancing" thing, I actually had a rabbit lined up....

Really I had no idea what to predict.

When I was looking to make a draft pick, I remember being really surprised at his predicted 5K time.  “Surely he’s faster than that,” I thought.  I almost picked him regardless. But then I thought about how wise and sensible he always is — not only about running and fitness in this thread but about everything else I’ve read him discuss in various threads on this site over the years.  If I can’t take the word and wisdom of someone like Oz, then who can I trust? So I passed.

Well, needless to say, that’s the last time I listen to that guy!

I just ran a 22:07 and you're much faster than I am. 

I'm not surprised by that time at all and actually think you have even more in you.  Pretty sure you can get sub 20.

 

[gianmarco]

@ChiefD

SMOKED IT!!!!

I'm pretty sure I could beat 20 now. I wasn't as sure, at all, a few weeks ago.

Honestly if not for COVID I'd be running less, swimming and lifting more.
